MIR. PAINE,S PLAN.

Those who have had practical experience
with State bank notes, with all their uncer-
tainties and differences in values, would
very much regret to see them, or anything
like them, come into again. But the
time is coming when the United States bonds
on which the present national bank notes
are founded will become unavailable, and
something will have to be done. The Hon.
Willis S. Paine, superintendent of the bank
ing department of the State of New York,
has an ingenious plan, by which he thinks a
sound and safe currency might be estab-
lished.
Mr.. Paine would maintain national cur
rency through State bank agencies. He
would have the notes printed, as now, by
the national government and countersigned
-5-Urso-oITIcr oIncers or each bank. This
would secure them against eounterfeiting.
He would have tho securities deposited held
by the controller Of the currency, ssto be
sold for the purpose of redeeming the cir
eulating notes in cases where the banks
failed to redeem them" For securities he
would take. The stocks or bonds of apy
State in the Union that has not within ten
years defaulted in the payment of any part
OF either principal or interest of any debt au-
thorized by any legislature of such State to
be contracted; the stocks or bonds of any
city, county, town or village in such State,
issued pursuant to the authority of a law of
that State, stocks or bonds of body polite
to be unavailable when the Indebtedness ex-
ceeds a certain percentage of the assessed
valuation of its real estate.
This is plausible plan, but those who
have been secure under the present system
will not be in hurry to agree with Mr..
Paine. The New York Times mentions
some of the objections to the scheme, as fol-
lows; The people who take the notes and
use them as money from day to day must
not only be sure that they will ultimately
get their money, but that they will, with alb
solute certainty, get it the moment they
want it. Anything short of this certainty
firmly fixed in the public mind, SO that there
should never at any time be any shadow of
doubt, even of mistaken doubt, regarding it,
would not prevent panic as to the notes.
And possibility of panic is fatal to any
bank currency. We have not known any
such possibility for over twenty years. None
is known as to any of the Issues of the great
national banks abroad-England, France,
Germany. We could not adopt system un-
der which such possibility would occur or
could occur without putting ourselves at
grave disadvantage.

Vanderbilt as a Passenger.


Speaking with a veteran conductor on the
said: civilian H. Vanderbilt was the best
passenger 1 ever had on his road He was
always contented, pleasant and satisfied, and
not like good many other travellers, perpet-
ually grumbling because affairs were not
right. I will never forget one incident
which occurred just before Cornelius Van
derbilt's death. William H. was on the way
to Saratoga and was a special train. At
Rhinebeck he received a dispatch. As he
opened it and read it the tears rolled down
his face. The dispatch said that the commo-
dore had had a chill and that his position
was precarious. William H told me to go
on when / asked him what l should do with
the train.
| knew if he went on he could not get
back until the next morning unless he took
a special engine Mr.. Ellis, of Schenectady,
was with Mr.. Vanderbilt and called me back
and asked me where would meet q train.
l told him would pass the Saratoga special
at Tivoli bound for New York, but that it
did rot stop at Tivoii. Ellis suggested that
l stop at Tivoli and flag the train and com
pei it to stop. He said it would be all right,
though Dir. Vanderbilt would not like to Of
fer to interfere with the running of trains
and the comfort of passengers. did SO and
Mr.. Vanderbilt. shortly on the Saratoga
special and thus arrived at New York about
nine o'clock in the evening instead of on the
following morning. AS helped him off the
car at Tivoii and explained what l had done
he said: "That WAS well done. I thank
you" Mr.. Vanderbilt was always thought
full in his intercourse with his employees.

The demand for uniform, divorce 1aws is
Increasing, In twenty-three of the thirty
eight States a prior undissolved marriage
sets aside new union. In twenty insanity
does the same; in seventeen homage and in
thirteen fraud. These are grounds for de-
claring the marriage null and void alb initio
Desertion ground for divorce varies in
length and character in many States.
The disastrous fire in Hanover, New Hamp-
shire, has again called attention to the valued
policy law of that State. None of the great
insurance companies of thes country now do
business in New Hampshire. Since the pas
sage of the valued policy law some local COM
panies have been organized, but the capital
brought into the business is Inadequate to
supply the needs of the people. So far as
economy is concerned it has been found that
in the absence of healthy competition, the
owners of property have been compelled to
pay a much higher rate than formerly.
Governor McGill of Minnesota has some
definite ideas concerning the railroad ques-
ton. He suggests that the legislature con-
slider the question whether railroads ought
not to store grain in their elevators without
any charge to the shippers. He says he sees
no reason why an exception should be made
in the case of grain from any other article
received by common carriers for shipment.
The governor goes SO far to say that he
would make it penal offence for any person
owning or operating a railroad to share in
any profit from an elevator, grain house or
coal yard located along the line of his road.
He urges legislation against watering stock,
declares absolutely against the giving of
railroad passes and recommends general
cheapening of passenger fares.
The new South is making rapid progress.
The sum of S62, 400, 900 has been devoted in
the last twelve months to starting new indus

The most marked changes were in Tennessee,
Arkansas and Alabama. In the first named

in 1885 grew to $21. 200 900, a large portion
of the increase going into the new iron in
dustries. Arkansas had but 81 ,220, 900 simi-
larly engaged in 1885, where it now has S15,
240, 900, and Kentucky increased its manu-
featuring capital from $500, 900 to $685.
400, 900. In Florida and West Virginia
there was falling off in the figures. The

Turgenieff once told queer story about
Victor Hugo in letter which has just come
to light. "Hugo, like Zola," he said,
''shows notable ignorance of foreign lite1a-
ture. With an amusing instance of this de-
feet will conclude my note. One day when
we were discussing the merits of Goethe at
Victor Hugo's house he informed re that ne
had never been able to see anything extraor-
dinary in Goethe's writings. 'Wallenstein,
that tedious piece, especially displeases me,
he remarked. Whereupon 1 naturally at once
pointed out to him that Wallenstein was not
written by Goethe, but by Schiller. What
does that matter2' he replied. Goethe and
Schiller are very similar in style, character
and matter. I assure yon, though 1 have
never read any of their books, know pretty
well what is written in them.'"

Wheat and Coffee Market.
Monument Unveiled at New
Haven, Conn.
Twenty Lives Lost by the
Burning Of a Steamer.
Il. q. Dun's Review.

NEW YORK. June l7.-R. G Dun l.
20. $ weekly review of trade says: 1t is
most encouraging that two of the great
speculations by which legitimate business
for months has been embarrassed have
come to an end without disaster to other
parties save those who had invited the
disaster, Arnold & Co. in coffee, and
kershaw 4 Co. in grain, With powerful
combinations behind them, have broken,
with a number of smaller operators, but
commerce and finances have not been
seriously disturbed. Those who derided
or disputed the wheat statistics given
three months ago In this review"
can now see whether those figures we're
more correct than the estimates of the
speculative ring. On March l9 this
review" said that the surplus in excess
OF the years home demand and the lO4,-
100000 bushels already exported was
more than 80, 000. 900 bushels"
Spectators ridiculed this warning, but
5000, 900 bushels more had been export
ed to date, and the home demand had
been satisfied, and within thirteen days
OF the end of the crop year. The visible
supply of wheat is AZ, ll2, It's, besides all
the wheat IN the farmers hands and
country elevators, and all -four in the
country. For the first time since Febru-
airy Chicago was selling wheat ON Thurs
day. and the market is now adjusting it
self to natural conditions. Sales of wheat
here reached &c, 10000 bushels, and of
coffee l.272,000 bags. In both markets
liquidation is progressing with a more
quiet feeling.
